Seriously. This is really annoying. In the last couple days, I have lost 2 levels. Primarily because of quitters. Twice it has ended with 4 on 1. So what should we do?

Absolutely nothing. You deserve to lose your rank if you don't have the presence of mind to go in with 3 other teammates. Otherwise you'd better expect quitters.

Achievements are like...

I say, if you quit, you shouldn't be allowed to start a new game until the game you were in finishes.

Now that is a surprising and perfectly logical thought....

you're kidding, right? You honestly believe that everyone has at least 3 friends playing on live and any given time who are ALSO willing to play in a team with whatever variant you like? Man, with my schedule I'm just happy when I get an hour or two a week at 2 in the morning. I don't have time to call friends and get a team together... just time to play!

I personally never understood why people even enter matchmaking if they don't intend to play what the game gives them... just... doesn't make much sense to me.

This is an awesome idea by the way.

I only quit CTF SWAT...hate it, hate it, [i]hate it[\i]. Besides, I'm in SWAT (a slayer variant) for slayer not some other game for which there are already other options.

Perhaps a non-quitter should get an experience point bonus for toughing it out to offset any drop in final standings or team rank. Bungie should be able to address this...oh, and couldn't you just quit if you were really concerned about your level until Bungie rewards non-quitters?

Nothing.

Why do you think the Quit option is there? To get super duper juggernaut powers? No.

I think the "hold your next game until the old one finishes" isn't bad, but that might cause problems among people who quit to join parties...

I don't know how ranked matches work when people quit, but I think that if somebody off your team quits, you should lose significantly less experience, if any. If two people quit, you should not lose any at all if you lose. Two on four matches are hardly fair.

I, for one, never quit unless I have good reason to. I think they make it so that if you quit, but stay online or play another game there is a bigger point reduction than if you quit and go offline, ie. stop playing Xbox. This way the real quitters loose out, but the people wo have to go somewhere, or do something else very important don't as much.

Some people may be to quick to judge whether your a quitter or not. When someone loses connection it doesn't any thing different then when you quit. So don't be to quick to judge. I have had to quit because i was going out to dinner and the game lasted longer than i expected, so are you going to punish me for that.

I believe it would be totally unjust to punish people for a quiting from a game that they bought and are paying 50 bucks a year to play with other people. Like said earlier they put the option there for so you can use it. you shouldn't get punished for using it. The only reason you should be punished is for is for abusing it. For example, if someone kept going into different games and quiting, but how often do you see that.

baning someone for quiting would be wrong.

-blam!- those guys i hate them you don't start a game and quit it because you wanna join a party do that before you play.


I play mostly skirmish i know how bad quiters are

Solution to fix matcmaking

in slayer
give 3 top 3 players on winning team exp and the top play of other team (I hate going 30 and 3 then loosing and the guy above me goes 3 and 30 and he gets exp)
If you quit you cannot play another game until that one is finished

In team skirmish
If you quit you cannot play another game until that one is finished +10 second wait and balls may be removed by any player at anytime.

Quitters will never be penalized, deal with it. As Jrock stated above they pay for the right to quit. As long as they're not in violation of the ToU then they can do whatever they want, whenever they want.

I grasp that, I truly do. However, I too pay for the right to play a game. People who quit because we begin to lose, deleveling, etc., ruins the gaming experience for many other people. True, quitters have the right to have their online experience go how they want, but their actions effect others as well. A similar line of logic could be used to argue for cheaters and modders. They pay for the service of XBL too, so why shouldn't they be allowed to do what they want? Because it screws other people.

well sometimes you have to quit, like say if your controler bateries run dead, then you cant do anything whatsoever, so might as well, your just dead weight

  • 09.06.2007 7:33 AM PDT

Track quitting percentages and match heavy quitters together and light quitters together.

I know man, aint that a B? The pills they got now don't work either. But hey, I just remember what my alcoholic obese high school gym teacher used to say... Nobody like a quitter!

Who really cares about quitters, just play the game....kill some people, capture some flags, arm some bombs, capture some territories, be the king of the hill, and get killed.....thats how the game works.....who cares if a team mate quits.

Your level? Oh no! Make sure to leave that part off your resume.

To answer the question: Nothing. I have nothing to say that hasn't been said already.
